The Jack Viney bump that never was!

Featured Replies

 

If that is all we are presenting I'm quite worried.

Given the evidence that has been shown on here such as:

  • rpfc showing that the rules allow for head high contact if contesting the ball and no toher way of contesting the ball presents - spinning out is NOT contesting the ball, and
  • the medical opinions from Peter Larkins that spinning out was a risk to Viney's health,

I'm not sure why we seem to have just run with a "come on guys its a brace not a bump" argument.

Nathan Schmook:
So Gleeson is suggesting the peals Board will have to find the Tribunal's decision to be "so unreasonable" that no Tribunal acting reasonable would have come to that decision.

DIrty pool...

now they should hit them with vibe defence, the constitution, mabo and all that stuff

c'mon jack

Yeah...that's it...it's just the vibe.....


That was our whole argument done? Umm...

If we get off, it's because of the uproar. (And rightly so)

(But we won't)

(Or maybe we will)

Nathan Schmook:
In plain terms, Gleeson is arguing that the jury found this was a bump, who is the Appeals Board to find differently?

Oooooooo!

"We'll show ya who!"


DG is right to make the brace/bump distinction the main argument.

If there is doubt whether it was brace or bump then you dismiss the charge. How you can have a justice system that says " we are not sure so we will just go with guilty"

I tend to agree. I think we needed a really technical legal argument.

Thats where they get you , on the legal technacalitiies,when what we need is common sense football knowledge. Don't like it too many Qc's involved


Hilarious. The poll on afl.com is should viney be set free? Who is he, Rubin Carter?

Hits harder.

Why not both?

It sounds like we needed to come out and list the sheer mountain of evidence and reactions that all combined show that this was an unreasonable decision.

It seems that if you picked a random sample of any 3 members of the larger football family, past players, players, supporters, journalists, CEO's, you would be hard pressed to accidentally select 2/3 who all thought it was a bump, and you definitely wouldn't have selected 3.

Thus the decision was unreasonable.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
